" Cais and Eels, and sich ae that.'* 



« One Sat'day night 

 De niggas went a huntin', 

 De dogs dey run de Coon, 

 De Coon he run de Wolver, 

 De Wolver run de Stifif-leg, 

 De StifiF-leg run de DevU, 

 Dey run him up de hill, 

 But dey cotch him on de leveL 



" Sat'day night come arter, 

 De niggas went a-fishin', 

 Dey call for Billy Carter, 

 'Case he want to go a-eattin', 

 Dey filled de jug an' started 

 For de Pocomoka river, 

 Chicken-guts wus better bait, 

 Dey dug a gourd o' wtirrims." 



From a song of the " Peasantry of the South'" — banjo 

 accompaniment omitted.
